A search warrant served Tuesday morning on E. Linwood Avenue led to the discovery of a large scale marijuana growing operation and the recovery of an assault weapon by the Turlock Narcotics Enforcement Team.

A coordinated effort between multiple law enforcement agencies Friday night resulted in the dismantling of an unsanctioned quasi car show setting up in a parking lot of a Turlock grocer, and saw dozens cited for multiple infractions.

The friendship between two Turlock men likely took a hit Wednesday when one man, while trying to avoid arrest, inadvertently led police officers to his friend's garage, where hundreds of marijuana plants were being grown.
